gotta go out. I'll be back in an hour or so and tell you how much.:lol

interesting thanks.

sorted. The tyre was fugged. I swapped it for one I have in the cellar. it's legal but not great. keep my eye out for another 2 on ebay.

oh bollocks. I've just put grease everywhere I could get it. :eek: anyway they're nice and free running now with no play. can the hubs get a little bit warm, or should they be cold all the time?

I rung Nissan the other day for a price for a new Bosch MAF:eek: . He took my reg and said he'd call me back. have a guess how much?

I know I know! can't believe I didn't fit it before cleaning with carb cleaner... then I would have been sure if it was working or not. Thing is I did the same this morning with the electrical contact cleaner, just sprayed away la la la de da :rolleyes: When I eventually get Ray's Amp I will...

I found a 2nd hand Bosch MAF on ebay for £20 delivered from a parts place. It came the next day, and looked a bit grubby and greasey so gave it a clean with the carb cleaner, making sure not touch anything. Left it to dry, Fitted it and it was not working. Head in hands moment and a big groan...

thanks, I have used muti purpose grease. I've now read the download on the hub cleaning. I haven't actually stripped and cleaned the Hubs at all!!! I stripped the brake rings and cleaned. So later today I will strip and repack the Hub. (The bit with 6 Alan bolts that you pull off)

You should now have 1 more bonus entry ;)

http://www.freeasestudyguides.com/performance-viscous-fan-clutch.html A viscous fan is running all the time where as an electric fan runs only when needed, so must be more efficient overall. Also easier to know if a fan is working.

Wow! :clap

either way its after the big fuel filter which gets down to a small enough micron for any fuel we are ever likely to use.

I'd prefer a manumatic

thanks ric. Am I right in saying that the wheel should be able to spin at least 1 revolution without too much force applied? If not then the bearing must be too tight? re. auto hubs, I stripped and cleaned and then packed with grease, dont know what else I should do with it. All the bits...

http://www.roversd1.nl/sd1web/viscofan.html I found this an interesting read as I thought viscous fans were are a bit Dr Who spacey like

It will probably be inside the bolt threads. I prized it out in a few broken pieces. Mine was clean.

Roar! Love that sound :sly

Knowing now that the bearings were over tightened after putting new discs on I jacked up the front to loosen them off a bit, I thought I would do this right before the heavens opened. :doh When everything was removed down to the lock ring I tapped it round with a hammer and screwdriver to free...

Duckhams... my dad used to put that in the MG Metro. changed every 6k and his friend used to come round for it as he used the used oil as new when he did a oil change. lol

when I refitted the bearings I think I may have over tightened. I turned the lock ring tight with 2 alan keys in the holes to get a good nip up, and then tapped the lock ring round very tight with hammer and screwdriver. There is no play but have I overdone it? would this cause wobble?
